Please refer the screenshot from Zerodha console IPO :
How can number one broker in India not pay attention to such simple thing like date format that majority of Indians use: dd-mm(mmm)-yyyy ?
Now, this should not be unlisted as it is not a support request. This is just to highlight the issues of broking platforms, discuss about it so that such horrible mistakes are resolved and not repeated
@Neostar We are used to seeing dd mm yyyy format. Just like we use lacks and not millions. When this is changed, it does creates discomfort. You could request them to change and offer flexibility as to which type of format users would like to use.
@siva As someone pointed above, can we have the option of selecting preferred date format please? We should always respect users preference wherever possible.
always govt is right so better be DD-MM-YYYY
The guy who signed the BIS std must be an NRI. If not, then should have explained the rationale on why they are choosing the format, which I dont know at this point.
Since DD-MM can confuse someone who works across borders for 11-12 is MM-DD or DD-MM,
Lets say… MM should become J1, F2, M3, A4, M5, J6, J7, A8, S9, O0 N0 D0 (with non-duplicate starting alphabet for Oct, Nov, Dec)
so today should be 17-D0-2021 can be D0-17-2021… no confusion even if some1 changes the order of DD-MM
without bring hexadecimals yet, some thoughts that are simple.
May be even simpler and novel thoughts can be mentioned here!!
And the biggest problem is that , zerodha has DD-MM-YYYY on kite web , and MM-DD-YYYY on the kite app. And something entirely different in console. It actually making a mess for copying important dates of the stocks to excel sheet
